A
Chesterton resident attending Purdue University was seriously injured on
Monday while bicycling in Lafayette.

At
11:20 a.m. Andrew Fant, a 21-year-old sophomore, was bicycling on Memorial
Mall Drive, entering from a grassy area, when he collided with a city bus,
Purdue University spokesperson Jeanne Norberg told the Chesterton
Tribune today.

He
was transported to Franciscan St. Elizabeth Health in Lafayette, Norberg
said.

Video
from the bus indicates that Fant was wearing headphones and looking down
at the time of the accident, Norberg also said.

Fantís
parents have established a Facebook page, Prayers for Andrew, who was
scheduled to undergo surgery around noon today.
